Thanksgiving is the season where everyone gathers together with family and friends to celebrate what they have.
However, sometimes we don't always feel like being thankful. Every day we are faced with an ever-changing world filled with violence, illness, trauma, and unhappiness.
It's hard sometimes to remember what we have to be thankful about when we constantly face things we aren't thankful for.
It's important to stay positive and remember what you do have to be thankful for. Instead of thinking about all the bad in the world, think about the good.
Stop worrying about rising tensions between countries, death, and other things out of your immediate control.
Be thankful for what you do have. Be thankful that you and your family are healthy. You have a home. You had a warm meal today. You have the opportunity to get an education. You saw your friends today. You had enough money to cover your grocery bill.
If you have to, start by thinking small. Be happy about the little things in life. Someone held the door for you or they complimented your outfit. Maybe you saw a really cute dog and that made your day.
This Thanksgiving and entire holiday season, remember what you do have and be thankful.
